Out of curiosity, how far do these fall short of being
true symlinks? The points I'm aware of are:

* They only work within a volume
* The GUI doesn't know about them, so it's easy to mistake
   a link to a folder for an independent copy of it and
   accidentally trash the original

Are there any others?
